"The journal of Annah Eliza Snap begins May 22, 1864, and ends Sugust 13, 1866.  The work covers the final months of the Civil war in Greeneville, Tennessee.  The slow pace of thefirst few entriessoon gives way to action, as brigades of contending cavalry fight through and around the town.  The journal includes vivid descriptions of nearby skirmishes, the anguish of separation from loved ones, images of violent death, and the quiet suspense of day-to-dat life on the home front."
